Yes very much agree. I shot a short early summer 2013 on Bmcc but settled for the original pocket, as I knew I'd only be doing ProRes. Shot 2 features on it, but always knew it was a work in progress starter camera to get used to a high quality workflow. As much as I like the look of the 4.6 sensor if the pocket 4K can maintain the Blackmagic look I can see it as my platform for years to come, I like the idea of multiple bodies that match.

Over on Reduser many had waited years for a Scarlet " 3K for 3K ". It didn't eventuate , ended up way more expensive.

So we trudged back to Canon who were (after about 3 years) releasing their followup to the breakthrough 5D MK2 with the 5D MK3. I'm sure it takes nice photo's but for those wanting to shoot footage it was abysmal. Still an 8bit codec & an overbearing OPLF that had to be sharpened from mud in post.

So we trudged into NAB thinking about camcorders or a Nikon ( no offense ) or something. Depressed .

I got the first BMCC immediately. that's when I learn't my first lesson about Blackmagic. They listen to feedback. Within 6 or 7 months they released the called for MFT which I would've preferred.

That's how history played out for me vaguely in my beat up memory anyway.
